An Uplifting Thought

Never bend your head.
Always hold it high.

Look the world right in the eye.

Helen Keller

Good one SQ. You always find the winners.
Helen Keller has always been an inspiration. Loved her perspective.

I usually do look the world in the eye but sometimes I put on sunglasses.

Nita said...

I haven't looked the world in the eye for a very long time...I think it's about time I start or at least try

Rae, like you, I look the world in the eye, but instead of sunglasses, I sometimes cover my eyes then peek through my fingers. lol

I love the Helen Keller quote; what an inspiration with which to start the day! And the photo, my heart sings whenever I see mountains.

Christine,
She has always been one of my idols, such an incredible woman.

Rae*,
Me too, I practically live in sunglasses.

Nita,
Go for it, keeps the rest of the world on their toes. It feels good.

Lynn,
I just came from your blog, you have a pretty good view of the world down that way.
The Helen Keller quote just seemed to fit that mountain view.

Small Footprints,
It just looked like a great way to start the day.

Madame Defarge,
The photo is of the Alaskan Range. My husband and I were trying to remember where those little houses were, I think around Girdwood at the Portage Glacier turnoff.

Nice photo and a great quote...something to think about on my next walk through the park.

Thanks, Jenn.

Does that mean staring at the Sun? LoL :))

Great quote, I'm not sure I look it in the eye like I should but will try. Helen Keller has always fascinated me.

Jenn,
It's a good thought to hold while walking in the park.

AlpHa B.,
Umm, I don't recommend that.

TC,
Helen Keller was such a fascinating woman, so full of life even with the challenges she faced. Of course I don't think she considered any of it a challenge.

CyberCelt,
I enjoyed you blog and will be back. I am always willing to do my part to save such a remarkable species.
